It is Natural to Love

My first deep breath of inspiration is that I will continue to love.

My second deep breath of inspiration is that everyone I know will continue to love.

My third deep breath of inspiration is that everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, will continue to love.

——————

It is natural to love.

The body feels nurtured and relaxed when we are in a loving state.

The tensions of the world fall away from us when we cultivate and achieve a feeling of love.

What could be more natural and beneficial?

To have the body in complete balance with a flow of calmness and happiness.

Loving creates a state of joy.

We can be generous with our love because we have an infinite supply from the Infinite Loving Universe.

We can let our love flow over everything we see and everything we think about.

What would happen if, instead of getting angry, instead we decided to love our way through the situation?

Well, that is exactly where we are today.

We no longer have the luxury of separating out those whom we love and accept and treating others badly.

We have the opportunity to create instances of love and forgiveness and understanding and acceptance toward everyone we see or think about.

When I do this even on a small, part-time, scale, it improves my day.

Imagine how all of us, loving more consistently, can create a completely different feeling in our community and for our world.

Government Within and Without

I embrace a feeling of calm.

Everyone I know embraces a feeling of calm.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, embraces a feeling of calm.

——————-

Government appears to come from outside of us.

But we all govern our own hearts and minds.

By taking a calming deep breath, we move inward to listen to the deep peace within.

In the deep peace, we hear a feeling security and certainty.

We know that we can continue to think clearly despite the chaos and rush around us.

In the deep calming breath, there is no pressure.

We can walk with grace.

We can speak intelligently.

We can assess the situation honestly.

We can act with integrity.

Our deep calming breath leads us to inward peace as we consider our day.

Where Are We Now?

I am grateful for the actions which express the contrast between good and evil goals.

Everyone I know is grateful for the actions which express the contrast between good and evil goals.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, are grateful for the actions which express the contrast between good evil goals.

————————

Everyone has to act in the best interests of their own lives.

Being guided by integrity can make some heavy demands on us.

These are the times when following ideals with action is crucial.

When we are prepared for growth, situations come to us in which we can no longer stand by.

We must take decisive action in support of those ideals.

The desire to see greedy action cease, in order to care for the greater good, is moving into consciousness.

Disgust and dismay leading to action show solidarity.

All the objections and discomfort caused over long periods of time, finally have to erupt into action.

It can be done through education and legislation, or failing that, it can be done through physical peaceful action, and the reaction to that shows the character of the participants.

When enough people come to a conclusion and take action, it shows that a level of consciousness has been achieved.

When this happens, it shows that the prevailing culture has changed.

Calm Decisions

I appreciate the feeling of calm.

Everyone I know appreciates the feeling of calm.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, appreciates the feeling of calm.

—————-

I breathe into the feeling of calm.

My body is relaxed.

I feel that I can trust the day.

I will make sound and delightful decisions.

With this breath, I know that I will do what is deeply important and fulfilling for me.

I am here to be happy and fulfilled.

My recognition of this insures that I will make decisions which take me closer to my goal.

When I am clam and undistracted, I am in harmony with my surroundings.

As I breath into my own presence, I feel the rightness of being where I am.

I recognize that even discomfort causes me to move in a direction which will take me closer to my goal.

I breathe and feel calm.

New Tools

I am so grateful to develop new tools for expression.

Everyone I know is so grateful to develop new tools for expression.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is so grateful to develop new tools for expression.

—————-

I have signed up for an on-line course in foundations of drawing.

This is a new step for me.

I am able to do it because I have spent several years teaching myself how to draw.

I am ready for some more help now.

I have had a couple of weekend classes, and an on-line lettering class.

But now, I feel I am ready to pay more attention.

I am ready to learn some techniques which have eluded me.

Even so, the time I have spent on my own is valuable.

Creative work in zentangle styles has given me a steadier hand.

It is easier and faster for me to draw leaves to identify trees.

So, I am seeing progress on my own.

Now, after being a terrified adult beginner, I feel better about taking a new step.

Drawing with more understanding will widen my foundation for graphic expression.

It is a whole new world for me.

Choosing What I Think About

I am so grateful I can choose what I think about.

Everyone I know is so grateful they can choose what they think about.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is so grateful they can choose what they think about.

———————

As I noticed more and more tension building up in my mind and body, I realized I had to change the focus of my thoughts.

I had gotten so caught up in what the world was delivering to me, that I became more and more distraught.

Then, I remembered that I, too, can send out information.

And the information that I can send out can be healing.

So I chose to look for the healing thought which I can apply to the disturbing images of world situations.

Here is what I am finding:

Gratitude, deep profound gratitude for those who are standing up to protect the integrity of our natural resources.

Respect for their immense courage.

Great respect for their peaceful methods.

Their clear understanding and expression for what they are doing.

Their consistency and self-respect.

These are the true voices which must be heard.

People’s voices, not corporate entities.

I am grateful for their participation in the healing of our earth, their continuing stewardship and leadership.

What I Truly Love

I am so grateful to discover what I truly love.

Everyone I know is so grateful to discover what they truly love.

Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is so grateful to discover what they truly love.

——————-

Even though I was taught what was “right” and “best” and to be obedient and disciplined into attaining it, I have discovered a different path.

It is the path toward what I truly love.

There is a requirement of the Universe to express our own individuality, despite what surrounds us.

We were created to utilize the infinite resources of the Universe, and we can’t do that if we are following someone else’s directive.

It can be society’s directive, or parents, or career counselors, or a significant other’s.

But if it isn’t ours, we will never be completely peaceful and joyously satisfied.

We need the wholeness and delight of our individuality.

It is fun to invent a new job, career, and product line and to know that the Universe is supplying It’s unlimited resources to make it happen.

All we need to do is to keep walking down the path of what we truly love.

The next idea and the next and the next will keep coming to us.

As we act on each tiny step, the next one will appear.

It is interesting to note how far and how divergent the path is from the one we were pushed into.

But we can change to our new path, gently and firmly, as we are directed by our joy and our delight.

And everyone and everything which belongs there with us will be there, too.
